Linje 28: }} '''Peales delfin''' (''Lagenorhynchus australis'') er en mindre [[delfin]], der lever langs kysten af det sydlige [[Sydamerika]] og [[Falklandsøerne]]. ==Udseende== '''Peale's Dolphin''' (''Lagenorhynchus australis'') is a small [[dolphin]] found in the waters around [[Tierra del Fuego]] at the foot of [[South America]]. It is also commonly known as the '''Black-chinned Dolphin''' or even '''Peale's Black-chinned Dolphin'''. However since Rice's work <ref>"Marine Mammals of the World. Systematics and Distribution", by Dale W. Rice (1998). Published by the Society of Marine Mammalogy as Special Publication No. 4</ref> Peale's Dolphin has been adopted as the standard common name. ~~Peale's~~Peales delfin Dolphin is of typical size in its family - about 1m in length at birth and 2.1m when fully mature. Its adult weight is about 115kg. It has a dark grey face and chin. The back is largely black with a single off-white stripe running curving and thickened as it runs down the back on each side. The belly is white. Conspicuously there is also a white patch under just behind each flippers. These are known as the "armpits". The flanks also have a large white-grey patch above the flipper. The [[dorsal fin]] is large for this size [[cetacean]] and distinctively falcate. The flippers themselves are small and pointed. The tail fin too has pointed tips, as well as a notch at its middle.▼ Peales delfiin kan især på afstand forveksles med den nærtbeslægtede art [[skyggedelfin]], der findes i samme område. [[Skyggedelfin]] mangler dog den skarpt afsatte hvide plet i ''armhulen'' som er karakteristisk for Peales delfin. ~~==Taxonomy==~~ Though it is traditionally placed in the genus ''Lagenorhynchus'', recent [[molecular phylogeny\|molecular]] analyses indicate that Peale's Dolphin is actually more closely related to the dolphins of the genus ''[[Cephalorhynchus]]''. If true, this would mean that this species must either be transferred to ''Cephalorhynchus'' or be given a new genus of their own. An alternate genus that has been proposed for this species (as well as the [[Pacific White-sided Dolphin]] and [[Dusky Dolphin]] is ''[[Sagmatias]]''.<ref>{{cite book\|title=Whales, Dolphins and Other Marine Mammals of the World\|author=Shirihai, H. and Jarrett, B.\|publisher=Princeton Field Guides\|year=2006\|page=205–207\|isbn=0-61-12757-2}}</ref> There is some behavioral and morphological to support moving Peal's Dolphin to ''Cephalorhynchus''. According to Schevill & Watkins (1971), Peale's Dolphin and the ''Cephalorhynchus'' species are the only dolphins that do not whistle.

On the Pacific side they have been seen as far north as [[Valdivia River\|Valdivia]], [[Chile]] at 38° S. On the Atlantic side sightings typically peter out at about 44° S - near [[Golfo San Jorge]], [[Argentina]]. In the south they have been seen at almost 60° S - well into the [[Drake Passage]]. Line 48 ⟶ 42: The total population is unknown but is thought to be locally common. ==~~Behaviour~~Adfærd== Peale's Dolphins congregate in small groups - usually about 5 in size and sometimes up to 20. On rare occasions in summer and autumn much larger groups have been recorded (100 individuals). A typical pattern is for the group is move in a line parallel to the shore. They usually swim slowly but are prone to bursts of activity. ==Påvirkninger fra mennesket== ~~==Conservation==~~ Peale's Dolphins' propensity for moving over only small areas, and staying close to shore, has rendered them vulnerable to interference by man. During the 1970s and 80s Chilean fisherman killed and used thousands of Peale's Dolphins for crab bait each year. This practice has tailed off but not been made illegal. In Argentina there have been reports of Peale's Dolphins becoming trapped in gillnets but the extent of this is not known. Conservation groups such as the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society demand further research be made into this species. ==~~References~~Systematik== ▲Though it is traditionally placed in the genus ''Lagenorhynchus'', recent [[molecular phylogeny\|molecular]] analyses indicate that Peale's Dolphin is actually more closely related to the dolphins of the genus ''[[Cephalorhynchus]]''.
